From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Whistling Jack Smith)
"I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" was a hit single in 1967 composed by Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway.[1] It was a novelty record, being performed mostly by whistling. This was credited to Whistling Jack Smith and Billy Moeller appeared under this name, though the whistling was really performed by John O'Neill, provided as a session musician by The Mike Sammes Singers.[2][3] Many oval race fans will be familiar with this tune as the theme music for Saloon Stox.
